In the truck's owner's manual, it says, "Do not tow for the first 1000 mi....for the first 500 mi that you do tow, do not exceed 50 mph". There have been many interpretations of this sentence on this forum, but I understand it that no matter how many miles you have on your truck, whenever you decide to tow, for the first 500 mi, you shouldn't exceed 50 mph. Although, during my grueling trip on the weekend I started to question it. What if I had 10000 mi on my truck, you would figure that it was broken in already wouldn't you? Just a thought. I figure that it's better to play it safe.

The truck pulled it with no problems. It felt like it would do any speed I asked it to. Just had to make sure I set the WD hitch and sway bars correctly to minimize squat. I still have to measure exactly how much squat the truck had, it'll have to wait until the next trip.
